Patent Images
1. A computer program product for instructing a processor to create a web store, said computer program product comprising:
- A non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions recorded thereon;
first program instruction means for determining a location of each product, aisle, advertisement, sign and display within a real world store by reading data from RFID tags attached thereto or by processing data from a video camera;
second program instruction means for collecting information about each said advertisement, sign and display within said real world store;
third program instruction means for receiving manufacturing information for fabricating each said product such manufacturing information having been created before real product is fabricated and without having said product physically available as a model for capturing video or still images of said product, said manufacturing information is continuously received, and product image is continuously rendered;
fourth program instruction means for rendering a respective three dimensional product image for each said product solely from said manufacturing information; and
fifth program instruction means for creating a web store using three dimensional internet or virtual world maneuverability, with images of each said aisle, said advertisement, said sign, and said display positioned at said determined location, and with each said respective product image positioned at a respective determined location within said real store; and
wherein all said program instruction means are recorded on said medium.

Abstract
A three dimensional web store having product images is created. Three dimensional product images are rendered from manufacturing information instead of the products themselves. The location of all products, advertisements, aisles, signs, and displays is determined for a real world store. The web store is then created using three dimensional internet or virtual world viewing and maneuvering capabilities, to appear identical to the real world store.
